Allows the user to maintain which Items on the Exam are Included and which Items are Excluded. Included Items on an Exam aggregate Stats on themselves and impact Candidate results. Excluded Items aggregate Stats on themselves, but do not impact Candidate results. See Include In Stats for more.

In the grid status row (bottom right), the number of Included items is shown.

The Include/Exclude grid is used to toggle Items between Included and Excluded state. The grid can be filtered down to specifc Items by using the grid filters. The Include/Exclude state can be toggled in two ways.

1) Use the Include All or Exclude All buttons on the grid toolbar. This will impact all items currently in the grid. if the users filtered down to a subset of the Items on the Exam, only the filtered Items will be affected.

2) The user can select rows via click, shift-slick and ctrl-click. Then by right clicking the selected rows a context menu will appear. The user can choose Include In Stats and all of the selected Items will be Included on the Exam. The user can choose Exclude from Stats and all of the selected Items will be Excluded from the Exam.

In the screen shot below, the first three Items were selected and Excluded form the exam. Note the Include in Stats column now has three Items unchecked, also in the grid status row (bottom right), the number of Included items shows 97 of 100.

Field Testing/Experimental Status Items are not automatically Excluded from Exams. This way the user can optionally exclude Active items and Include Field Testing Items. If the Exam contains any Field Testing Items a yellow warning message is printed at the top of the page indicating how many Field Testing Items are on the Exam. This way if the user intends to exclude the Field Testing Items, they can see how many are to be excluded and can see how many have been excluded on the Exam.

The tab strip at the top of the page allows the user to go back to the Process page, to the Mark Entry page, to the Graph page, to the Results page or the Maintenance page.
